Stark Family Ranch

Stark Family Ranch, a Hereford cattle breeder in Comanche, TX, serves central Texas near Fort Worth and surrounding rural communities. The ranch adheres to industry guidelines, conducts quarterly vaccinations and herd health evaluations, and works with a local veterinarian to monitor each animal. Calves are raised on open pasture with daily handling, early group socialization, and gradual weaning to support calm temperaments.

It prioritizes rotational grazing practices and soil health, integrating cover crops and diverse forage species to promote long-term herd well-being. Breeders select for maternal traits, structural soundness, and feed efficiency to balance growth, fertility, and temperament in each calf. Family members welcome occasional farm visits, offering firsthand insight into pasture-based cattle care and sharing stories of local ranching heritage. It engages with regional cattlemen’s associations and participates in field days and workshops to stay current on herd management practices. The gentle dispositions and adaptability of these Herefords make them well suited to small operations seeking consistent, high-quality beef production.
